"All" the Christian preachers were claiming god wanted Obama defeated...? Really? Wow!!! That's quite a claim. What evidence do you have to prove this statement? Or is it just your belief? Do you expect me to accept such a preposterous statement on faith alone?
You guys should reconsider trying to throw God into every argument, just doesn't work for either side. Organized religion is on the way out, but that doesn't stop people from wanting to be Spiritual. Just try to keep it out of the elections, the GOP would be much better off, and the Dem's can still pray any way they like.
The CIA World Factbook gives the world population as 7,021,836,029 (July 2012 est.) and the distribution of religions as Christian 33.35% (of which Roman Catholic 16.83%, Protestant 6.08%, Orthodox 4.03%, Anglican 1.26%), Muslim 22.43%, Hindu 13.78%, Buddhist 7.13%, Sikh 0.36%, Jewish 0.21%, Baha'i 0.11%, other religions 11.17%, non-religious 9.42%, atheists 2.04% (2009 est.).
From CIA factbook 6 years earlier. World population: 6,446,131,400 (July 2005 est.) Christians 32.84% (of which Roman Catholics 17.34%, Protestants 5.78%, Orthodox 3.44%, Anglicans 1.27%), Muslims 19.9%, Hindus 13.29%, Buddhists 5.92%, Sikhs 0.39%, Jews 0.23%, other religions 12.63%, non-religious 12.44%, atheists 2.36% (2003 est.) Look at that...despite Freethinkers ramblings over the past 6 years, Atheism has lost 15% of its members. I suspect that is because Atheists in general are searching for the truth and they dig and dig, and eventually they find the answer which is completely the opposite of the answer they wanted to find which is why their group has the biggest drop. Keep digging Freethinker...maybe one day you will see the light too.
Ah, luke, you just keep on giving, thanks buddy. I think the 'mrs bill' part is especially endearing. And, if you care to check facts: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/09/11/religion-in-america-in-decline/
of course the rest of the world we dont care about. its america that is throwing off the yoke of mental bondage called religion. what do you think happens when the older more superstitious generation dies off?: Belief In God Plummets Among Youth The younger generation is abandoning God in droves. A new survey by the Pew Research Center finds that belief in the existence of God has dropped 15 points in the last five years among Americans 30 and under. Pew, which has been studying the trend for 25 years, finds that just 68 percent of millennials in 2012 agree with the statement âI never doubt the existence of God.â Thatâs down from 76 percent in 2009 and 83 percent in 2007. Among other generations, belief in God is high and has seen few changes in recent decades. Between 81 and 89 percent of older generations say they never doubt the existence of God, although the older the generation, the more likely they are to believe in God. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/06/belief-in-god-plummets-millenials.php?ref=fpb
